Adrieke Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share #542 Posted November 24, 2014 thanks Piet and Mobbsie I know I still have lots to clean up but I am really enjoying the build again I started on the lower green strake now. I am not looking forward to fitting the curved bow part of it tough Sjors, edmay, Mirabell61 and 4 others 7 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrieke Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share #544 Posted November 25, 2014 thanks Carl for your confidence making the curve will be easy , I am more concerned with the fact that the strake will need to be fixed to the hull at a corner and not one off the sides. so not much contact. my resolve is to flatten to corner in the middle of the curve to give a bigger area of contact. I am just not sure how it will look A quick update from tonight. 2 parts of the lower strake are now attached. tomorrow ill attach the ones on the other side. then I will be able to get a rough idea on the shape of the curve. I temporarily attached the albatross to make sure the strake fits snug against it augie, Kevin, Mirabell61 and 5 others 8 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrieke Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share #547 Posted November 26, 2014 thanks Wayne and Popeye i am not sure yet on the curve. the instructions says to measure it 18 mm from the upper strake all the way round , but i had already found out that at the front. if i follow the instructions the strake will go up because of the shape off the hull. if i measured 18 mm straight down then it would stay even with the waterline, but not sure if it would look right Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piet Posted November 27, 2014 Share #548 Posted November 27, 2014 Hi Adriaan, I understand your dilemma. It seems that the instructions are not quite clear or in error. I would think that it should follow the sheer and if the strake is the sheer then run it parellel to it. Cheers, Adrieke and popeye the sailor 2 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Adrieke Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share #549 Posted November 27, 2014 hi Piet, thanks for the advice. and I agree with your reasoning and run it parallel with the sheer but that's for the weekend. today I worked on drilling the holes for the portholes. not an easy task when the instructions say to start at the middle of the ship, but where is the middle. using some off the pictures in the instructions I calculated the middle and used some wood strips to mark the positions. before drilling I checked again with the upper pre drilled holes and found out I was off by about 25 mm even after this adjustment , they still do not correspond completely with the overall picture of the ship, so I assume there are errors in the measurements that where given. after drilling I inserted the rivets to see the effect and it looks good I think i still need to do the other side and will be looking through the instructions to find any other holes that need to be drilled before i start on cleaning up the paintwork edmay, GuntherMT, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piet Posted November 28, 2014 Share #551 Posted November 28, 2014 Hello Adriaan and you are so welcome. Yeah, When looking at pics of ships that seems to be the norm, running that strake parellel to the sheer. I also think that the portholes may not always follow the sheer line but rather parellel to the deck where the cabins are. This will only be noticeable at the stern and bow ends of the ship. Love the looks of the portholes! Cheers, Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman. "Your greatest asset is not the quantity of your friends , rather the quality of your friends."

popeye the sailor Posted November 28, 2014 Share #552 Posted November 28, 2014 do they supply trim parts for the portholes? if the kit doesn't, look in my Holiday Harbor build......I have a little thing in there about eyelets that you might find interesting. I also show the panels for the Danmark kit. they have a porthole arrangement is is somewhat similar to what your doing. looking good my friend!

Adrieke Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share #554 Posted December 1, 2014 thanks Piet. i didnt think about the portholes and followed the instructions on putting them 10 mm below the lower strake. looking at some pictures you are right (ofcourse). since there is not much difference i wil lkeep them as they are now , but something to remember if i ever do a ship similar (already got one in mind ) thanks Popeye. they supply small rivets to simitate them, but i ll have a look at you rbuild too thanks dragzz did some work on my workspace and also finaly the replacement part for the black pearl build has arrived so i started on that build again i did finish drilling al lthe holes for the portholes, several holes for some eyelets that need to be atached and ofcourse the 2 holes for the anchor . unfortunately i didnt take any pictures , but i ll try to get some tonight edmay and Piet 2 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
